Instructions

1. Drain some juice
   • Pour out about ½ the pickle juice from the jar (don’t dump it all).
2. Add flavor
   • Pour in 1 packet of Kool-Aid.
   • Add ½ cup sugar (add more if you want them sweeter).
3. Mix
   • Close the jar and shake until sugar dissolves.
4. Soak & chill
   • Refrigerate at least 24 hours (48–72 hours = stronger flavor).
   • Flip or shake the jar once or twice while soaking.
5. Eat cold
   • The pickles will be bright, colorful, and sweet-tangy.
